Hyrum

He has a loose tooth, is getting glasses, and hopefully, we're soon going to get to the root of his stomach problems so he can feel normal again.

It makes sense why his eyes have been going cross-eyed when trying to focus on things ten or more feet away. He's pretty excited about the loose tooth thing. Feels like he's growing right up because he's going to get his "adult" teeth when his baby teeth fall out.

He's also learned to play super mario world in the past month and loves it. He is learning how to write his letters pretty well and LOVES doing his pre-k work books and is really looking forward to Kindergarten.

Good thing the girls have each other to keep them occupied while Hyrum's away to school during the day.

Ginnie seems to get more sweaty, achy and wailing more often. I've thought she was hypoglycemic for a long time. I'm going to have her tested to make sure that's all it is. I know what to do in that case. Whole grains, proteins and lots of water, plus a good diet with fiber.

Angela is the cutest little thing when she runs. She's quick on her feet and bounces up and down. Loves water and gets her hands in the toilets a lot lately. I'm trying to keep the bathroom doors closed for that reason.

Her main words now are NO, MINE, MAMA, and DADA. That's about it. Since her big fall about a month and a half ago, she hasn't said more than that although she was really taking off before the fall with her vocabulary. I won't sweat it because she comprehends so much for her age and communicates just great without words. She's crazy smart.

This morning I asked her if she'd like to say the prayer. She looked up with her arms folded and said, "Na" which means ya (and smiled while nodding her head). She folds her arms through the entire prayer, and sings all the time.

Huh, that's interesting. Ginnie says she's sick often, and complains of her head hurting as well. Maybe she too, needs glasses. I'll have to check that out along with Hyrum. My kids have always appeared a little cross-eyed. Not Angela as much.

I hope you check these messages because I need you to email me your new address. We got a letter for you in the mail and I don't have your updated address. I love Angela's hair!! Your kids are so cute. Hope you are doing well

They're growing up! I have loved watching them grow into the best of friends. Where Angela seemed the odd one out for a long time, these two do great playing together for hours now. On their bad days (usually when they're both tired), their fights seem more like what you might hear between two teenagers. The way they communicate is oh so cute now that they can both talk clearly-and these two have little fires in them. Ang is sweet, feisty and charismatic while Sarah is head-strong, motherly, and animated.

My husband is coming up on his eighteen year mark active duty.
It's been a long, hard journey. but also full of joy and laughter.
Everyone in our family is ready to settle, and hopefully, next summer, it will become a reality.
We have a new addition to our family. My little brother is now the eldest out of our children we are raising. He has been a great addition and we LOVE seeing him grow in ways he couldn't before because of the environment he was in.
Please pray for healing for my parents. I hope and pray that the right person/people will be set in their path so that they can have the opportunity to live a life full of joy and peace for the remainder of their days here. Because of weakness and sin, they continue to dig pits for themselves and have no ability to take full responsibility, a willingness to do what they need to to change. I believe that because of their high anxiety and stress levels, they have justified themselves in abusing and using their children (and …

My marriage has literally come crumbling to the ground in the past two years. It almost ended a year ago, and again six months ago.

Things needed to change permanently. I had grown all I could possibly grow in the paradigm we had created, and now I was ready to continue growing in a more healthy direction; and most importantly, WITH my husband, if he was ready and willing to do whatever it took to make it work. I was done feeling alone in my marriage.

So, everything fell apart. And yet, looking back, I see that everything was falling into place exactly as it was meant to happen.
The amount of healing and rebuilding that is going on in both of us is nothing short of miraculous.

I have loved my man more than I could imagine ever loving anyone.
I am thankful he chose us. I will continue to choose him carefully, each day, each hour, and recommit myself to being the best me for us. I will not take for granted all that we've been through, all that I had to go through in order to…
